Aurin had always lived between worlds—though she never understood why.A college student and part-time barista in the quiet city of Serene, she was an orphan who grew up learning to rely only on herself. In her small, lonely apartment, she often felt as if she didn’t entirely belong to the human world. Strange dreams haunted her nights: a foreign forest lit by two moons, silver light pouring through her veins, and an unfamiliar pull in her chest. Dreams that left her trembling, unable to pass her days in peace.Everything changed the night she was attacked.A shadowy creature stalked her on her way home. Panic rose like ice in her lungs, and then—reality shattered. The world around her cracked like fragile glass, pulling her into a place she had seen only in her dreams.The Liminal Forest.A hidden dimension born from the inner energy of werewolves, a battleground that never touched the modern human world.There, Aurin was saved by Kael Aldrich, a young CEO known for his cold composure and effortless charisma. To everyone else, Kael looked perfectly human. But Aurin saw what others could not—wild golden eyes, the flicker of a wolf’s shadow beneath his skin whenever the full moon neared. Kael, and several people around him, belonged to the Lunaris clan, a lineage of werewolves who lived side-by-side with humans, hiding their strength to preserve the balance between worlds.But Kael wasn’t the only man who drew close to her.There was Raven, the mysterious customer who often lingered in the café where Aurin worked. A dark soul exiled from the Umbra clan—werewolves who survived by blending seamlessly into human society. Raven warned her that Kael had his own agenda and that no one from the Lunaris should be trusted.Their meeting tore open a rift, pulling them once more into the Liminal Forest.And there, Aurin learned the truth that would upend everything:She was Luna Doble—heir to the rare dual-moon power, the key to the fate of two great clans.Aurin was not fully human.She was the bridge that could end a war… or ignite it.The tension between Kael and Raven spiraled into a dangerous triangle of desire and resentment.Kael offered her safety, devotion, a place to belong.Raven offered her freedom, fire, and beautiful wounds she wasn’t sure she could resist.When the Shadowborn, ancient creatures of darkness, rose to plunge the werewolf world into war, Aurin became the final prize. Both men wanted to protect her—yet neither wanted to lose their chance at her heart.In the last battle within the Liminal Forest, Kael and Raven nearly tore each other apart for her. The human world continued unknowingly, unaware of the war burning behind its veil.And Aurin made a choice neither of them could foresee.She split the dual-moon power, giving half to Kael and half to Raven—ending the war, but draining her own life to its edge. As she lay fading, Aurin finally spoke the truth she had hidden:She loved them both—but not in the same way.Aurin chose Kael.Kael was the one who saw her as a person, not a weapon or a symbol.Raven, though shattered, accepted her decision and stepped back to keep her safe.The war quieted. The human world remained blissfully unaware.And Aurin, now living between two realms—the modern and the supernatural—began rebuilding her life beside Kael… while the echo of two moons lingered softly in her blood.
